Bookmarker's Notes
such an incredible read. i want a hundred books and fics written like this. the character study here was done on so many levels and it's just subtle enough that when it hits you, it's a wonderful surprise, considering it's something that was right there in front of you the whole time. i'm always impressed by fanfic authors when they can take pre-existing characters and expand on them in ways that it is so obvious only they can. particular the character study of eddie through the interviews and steve's point of view in combination with the character study of steve just from his own POV was so well done and i loved this story so much. i finished it a little under a week ago and i'm still thinking about it. i'm sure when i go back to reread this, i'll be finding something that i missed the first time. absolutely worth the read.

Summary
Langa has mixed feelings about the sudden move to Okinawa, but he quickly gets swept up in a whirlwind of new experiences. He isn't sure how he will cope with a new school, new job, adjusting to a language he's questionable in at best, and... an illegal skating ring? How will his newly developing relationships fare against the threat of everything unraveling at the hands of the founder of S?
Or: A trans!Langa fic that I wrote in the midst of an identity crisis that I hope is decent representation <3

Summary
“Kyan Reki, please, renounce your delinquent ways and be my boyfriend!”
Reki stares at the top of her head for a long moment, his ears ringing ever so slightly. Her hair is so long that it nearly touches the pavement while she’s bent over like that. He takes so long to answer that Tanaka stands up straight again. Her cheeks are flushed bright red.
“What delinquent ways?” Reki finally asks.
Or: Someone likes Reki. If only there was one tiny thing different about him. Surprising no one except Reki, Langa is possessive and/or jealous over it. Now with added love letters, confessions, bisexual crises, and dubious skateboarding knowledge.

Summary
It's been a year since Prince Langa smiled. The queen offers a reward to anyone who can fix that. Reki would give it a try, but he's pretty sure being the one who broke the prince's heart disqualifies him.
“You’ve been quiet. Are you jealous?”
Reki lurches up. “Jealous of what?”
Miya’s brow angles impossibly higher. “Of all the attention the prince is getting?”
Right, of course. That’s what anyone would be jealous over. “I just don’t believe it. Prince Langa isn’t…” he waves one hand, frowning, “...like that.”
“Ha,” Miya crows. “Like you’d know.”
But he does. And Reki thinks: I could do it. I could make him smile. I’ve done it before.

Summary
After the sudden death of his mother, Reki Kyan and what remains of his family pack up and move down to his father's hometown - a small town in Canada. The world is cold and flat and colorless, until Reki meets a strange, scatterbrained boy with a bright smile, brighter hair, and a talent for something that didn't really exist in Okinawa - snowboarding.
Reki doesn't like the cold, so it's a good thing this Langa Hasegawa is so warm.

Summary
"You're-" Reki starts, then stops, rocking back on his heels. "You're you."
Kojiro has no clue what that's supposed to mean. "I am?" he agrees, but it comes out sounding like a question.
He watches Reki fidget for a moment, clearly struggling to find the words he wants. "Um," he says. He's looking everywhere except his face. "How do you... how do you come out to someone?"

There's Nothing Wrong With You (It's True, It's True) by orphan_account

Summary
Reki was slouched over, his hands shoved into the pockets of his hoodie. His shoulders were shaking, and he was completely drenched.
“You’re soaked to the bone,” Cherry murmured as he moved the umbrella away from Joe and over to shield the shivering boy from the harsh weather. Joe huffed a bit but couldn’t really be bothered about getting wet- not when Reki was so visibly uncomfortable.
Cherry reached out a delicate hand as if to brush Reki’s bangs aside, but at the man’s motion, Reki’s entire body lurched in a violent flinch.
Something cold rose up in Joe’s chest, his stomach growing uneasy.

Summary
Miya puts on his most pitiful face and tucks himself into Joe’s side. “My dads are getting divorced,” he says, trying to sound like the very subject of conversation puts him close to tears. He feels Joe’s chest constrict, like he’s trying to hold in a reaction, and Miya digs one of his nails into his friend's side. If Joe laughs now, not only will Miya commit homicide, but the victim will be one specific head chef.
Joe’s chest relaxes and he says, in the same sad tone as Miya, “He was cheating on me with the head chef at his restaurant."

Summary
Kaoru knew his friendship with Kojiro was unusual to most people. They don't really act like how most friends would, but none of that ever really mattered. It worked for them and he was content for everything to stay the same.
Then it suddenly wasn't and everything he knew about their relationship was turned on its head.
And he feels stupid for not noticing it all sooner.(Or Kaoru is bad with feelings, makes an effort and learns about taking his time because love is hard. And it's even harder when you have to juggle loving your childhood best friend and dealing with the constant haunting presence of his ex-friend.)

Summary
“Sure?” Langa doesn’t like the way Reki is looking at him without meeting his gaze. “Of course I’ll help you, Reki. What’s up?”
It takes a long second for Reki to answer. When he finally does, Langa feels the world slow to a stop around them. “Well, the thing is... my soulmate is always writing on their arm. But they’re always writing in English, so I don’t know what it says. I was hoping you might translate it for me?”
--
Reki asks Langa to translate the English writing of his soulmate and is left to wonder why, exactly, Langa turns so incredibly red as he does exactly that.

Summary
The love letter is two sentences long. There isn’t even a Dear Langa, that’s how short it is. It covers approximately 10% of the paper’s surface area.
The sentences get straight to the point. I have a crush on you. Isn’t that awful? It’s written in striking red, in an almost illegible handwriting.
There’s no signature.
For the first time in Langa’s life, he cares about a love confession.
